We understand that not everyone has an unlimited budget like the ones we so often read about in wedding magazines. Thus, when it comes to choosing bridesmaid dresses it’s best to remain aware of all price tags. To keep your spending in check, we suggest the thrill of the fashion hunt. Make the dress search fun by labeling it as a girls day; gather everyone together, set a reasonable budget and spend a day or two rummaging through racks of gorgeous dresses. You’re bound to find a variety of dresses that not only fit your color scheme and monetary specifications, but also look very flattering on each of your friends.

Unless you’re BFFs with Mary Kate and Ashley, chances are the ladies in your bridal party do not look identical. Body types, skin tone and hair color are all factors to weigh when adding pieces to your personal wardrobe, so why not consider them when you’re selecting your bridesmaid dresses? The cold hard truth is that more often than not, one style truly doesn’t flatter all. Alterations are always an option, but can be costly and a bit of a gamble. By selecting specific designs and colors for your individual bridesmaids, you can be certain they feel relaxed in their ensembles and that will definitely reflect in photos. Plus, each bridesmaid will be able to maintain a bit of their individual style, which adds a whole other level of comfort!
